Who Watch's the Watchmen?

A famous yet chilling line from one of the greatest stories ever told "Watchmen", this line forces us to ask ourselves the same question. Who watches the Watchmen. We as a society are forced to assume that police are good men who want to protect us, what a joke. Who overlooks law enforcement? other government agencies. Why isn't there a civilian oversight committee to start answering all the questions about police corruption, brutality, racism the list goes on. What about the questions that don't get asked? the less obvious questions? do the police men even know the law they are supposed to enforce? are they trustworthy individuals? What safeguards does the ordinary citizen have from the police? none, a cop can take any person into jail because they want to. This person is either forced to deal with getting out of jail, maybe even court dates not to mention maybe contending with dangerous criminals. Some will answer that's why we have the justice system, we have judges and lawyers to fight that sort of thing. That takes time and money both of which are hard to come by for Joe Schmoe. Some of you might believe police are good men let's ask Serpico. Police are the scum of the earth, only sadists become police. Don't believe that bullshit about how cops want to help people. If they wanted to help people they would have become firefighters, if they wanted to fight for freedom and protect lives they would have been soldiers, no they want to use a gun to scare kids. What differentiates the police from vigilante type character's in the "Watchmen" I can only think of two things, a shiny badge and an organization to help you get away with planting evidence, or beating kids up.
